Bill > S05931

This bill postpones the implementation and enforcement of Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulations by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Specifically, the bill prevents the DEC from requiring manufacturers of medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission vehicles before January 1, 2027. The Advanced Clean Trucks regulations, which are designed to reduce emissions from commercial trucks by mandating a gradual transition to zero-emission vehicles, will effectively be delayed until the specified date. By using the phrase "notwithstanding the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary," the bill ensures that no existing regulations can override this postponement. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, meaning the delay in implementing these truck emission standards would be immediate and remain in place until the start of 2027.
